Skipper Ekitike along with a Triple Arsenal Backline – The FPL Team of the Week

How many The Reds assets might you accommodate inside your team this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured two consecutive victories and boast a sizzling attacker in Hugo Ekitike going into a encounter with Wolves who are tracking for an abysmal top-flight seasons ever.

For managers who kept some of your AFCON transfers , with the funds to upgrade following the injury to the injured Bruno Fernandes, in that case assets from Anfield options must be your top priority.

This weekly selection is assembled according to current Fantasy Premier League costs to stay under a £100m budget, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Team?

Captain Erling Haaland (a massive haul) and the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a handsome total – supplemented by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

The FPL Team of the Week for Matchday 18

Goalkeeper and Defence

David Raya, the Gunners, keeper, £6m – vs Brighton (H).

The North London side's backline suffered a brief dip after the absence of their Brazilian defender, yet they've secured two shutouts recently , boasting 9 so far with not even the campaign's midpoint completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in just a handful of home games this season. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) & Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), the Gunners – vs the Seagulls (H).

We're opting for a triple selection on the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the strongest defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in the majority of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has not found the net in two consecutive outings.

Brighton have a mere 9 goals across eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender continues to be a steady choice every week , with increased goal threat now he is right-back.

Hincapie has earned defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

Virgil van Dijk, the Reds, £5.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

Managers would love six Liverpool assets this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score once again this season in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have a paltry nine strikes all season, with only two on the road. That makes this one of the safest clean sheet bet imaginable.

Omar Alderete, Sunderland, £4m – vs Leeds (H).

Regardless of Leeds United's improved offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure their third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender becoming an outstanding budget defensive pick. You can start him with assurance in most games, thanks to his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

Mason Mount, Manchester United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle (H).

The English midfielder will likely assume a bigger responsibility for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, with their Portuguese maestro out injured.

In their last three matches, United boast the highest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 against the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team who have not excelled away from home – managing one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to take over many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, and might play behind the striker.

Florian Wirtz, Liverpool, £8.1m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

Wirtz is on the verge of a major point return , with a home match against Wolves presenting the prime opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns across four recent fixtures – two assists and one 'defcon' performance.

In that period he's made 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, and his expected goals stands at 0.88.

Morgan Rogers, Villa, £7.2m – vs Chelsea (A).

With 30 points in two games, the midfielder's current form demands attention.

He's Aston Villa's key attacker, capable of producing a goal from minimal space in the box.

An away trip to Chelsea could be viewed as a difficult proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Strikers

Hugo Ekitike (Captain), the Reds, £8.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for his place, and having bagged five goals in three games, the French striker earns the captaincy this week.

Erling Haaland, Manchester City, £15.1m – vs Nottingham Forest (A).

There's no dropping the Norwegian goal machine, however with him having a more difficult fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
